Spring 2011
Barley protein based microcapsules (1-5µm) incorporating fish oil/β-carotene were successfully prepared. Well suspended solid microcapsules, rather than emulsions, were able to form after high pressure emulsifying process. These wet-status microcapsules could be turned into dry powder by a spray...

Evaluation of the threonine requirement and the bioavailability of threonine in feedstuffs in pregnant sows
DownloadFall 2010
Current recommendations for amino acid intake during pregnancy are for a constant amino acid intake throughout. However, the demand for amino acids changes from maternal tissue growth in early gestation to fetal, conceptus and mammary tissue development in late gestation. The availability of...

Proanthocyanidins and Glucose Homeostasis: An Analysis of Bioavailability and Mechanisms in Rats
DownloadFall 2015
Proanthocyanidins (PAC) belong to a highly consumed class of flavonoids and their consumption has been linked to beneficial effects on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes. However, limited gastrointestinal absorption occurs due to the structure complexity of polymeric PAC and the mechanisms by...
